Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just picked up a new used GQ LWB yesterday.

In testing on a concrete car park if I do tight figure 8's in 2wd everything seems ok.

If I do the same in 4wd with the hubs locked the rear wheels drag like there is a locker in the back. It seems fine on the straights.

Any idea why this happens ...

as far as i knew, they have only unlocked the EA falcon computers, and no where near the BF/BA/AU computers

It is definitely sorted now.

I know of 2 EB falcons with a BA engine running the BA ECU.

One of them sells kits for the conversion including the flash tuned ECU.

The other thing that might be an issue is that the ford engine is a front sump setup whereas the patrol is a rear sump.

The dellow site doesnt mention anything about it though.

Power is good. I just put a turbo on my TB42 and am loving it.

Dellow does a conversion kit.

The hard part is getting the standard wiring to work without all the security business. You would need to run the electronic throttle pedal.

Because of the dual VCT it is a complicated motor for an aftermarket ECU to run. The stock ECU is the best bet.

A mob in ...

Speak to Performance Ignition Services in Nunawading, especialy since you've got it turboed.

I spoke to these guys and they sold me a crane HI6 that does timing retard on boost triggered by the pertronix that I have already.

I got my turbo conversion running today and with the 1 trip around the ...

Yeah they are good things.

I had a go at a megasquirt once using EDIS on a BA motor.

I got the thing to fire but stuffed something up because it wouldnt run.

The microtech worked perfect on the EF, I'd use it again.

Do you think mud would bother those sensors? They are fairly out in the open on a falcon.

I had a microtech from my EF and thought about fitting it using a falcon ignition setup but put it in the too hard basket and sold the ECU.

How would you fit a 36-1 trigger wheel to a tb42 to run the edis system?

I had radial claws and thought they were terrible.

Mine were 35/12.5/15's and pretty much brand new.

In gravel and wet roads they would tram line/understeer pretty badly around corners at any decent speed.

They couldnt be driven on fast without the fear of running straight when you wanted to ...

Found it! Thanks guys.

The number I was looking at was on the passenger side of the block.

The number is behind and below the dizzy cap, and the number is facing the sky.

Its as plain as day once you find it.

Thanks will look again with a torch and see if I can find it.

87018???

Strange firing order.

Sorry for the dumb question. I searched and couldnt find the answer I needed.

Im trying to find the engine number on my TB42.

Is it the 5 digit number next to the dizzy on the block?

It doesnt match my rego sticker so Im unsure.

Is a cam swap a head off job on these things?

I havent read about anyone doing one on here.

Mine has 4.1's.

1988 5 speed maverick xlt. SWB.

Ive got a big boss compressor and 15 litre tank too.

It took bloody ages (4 or so minutes) to pump up from 0 to the 150psi cutoff but takes less than half the time to reach 100psi which is what the airlockers like.

It recharges in about 30 seconds using the 100psi cutoff switch which Im happy ...

Mine is about 18 months old with no issues.

A mate had one for 4 months or so before it died. Left his stranded in a different state. Not fun.

I searched and searched doing research and it came down to which place was the easiest to get to.

ARB was closer so I got one of them.

Has anyone broken off their mounts before?

The 2 front mounts snapped off the chassis on me the other night which saw the tank hanging 6 inches lower than normal. Its a shorty GQ.

Can anyone recommend a good place in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne to have the mounting repaired and braced so it ...

Hobzee's flares dont look out of place imo. They covered my old 35 inch simex and the current claws pretty well.

Yeah its a bit of a pain. I had one and decided to sell it a few years back. That was $340 or so. Then I got the quote for another for $330 + gst so didnt rush to get one with your group buy. Now the prices go up :(

I think at $660 I would rather spend the extra cash and get a 6boost or etm ...

Hmm it appears times have changed.

I emailed them today because Im after one and they wanted $600+gst. :(

pm has been sent to oondy, hopefully he can help me out.

GQ mav 4.2 petrol.

I got my clutch done on Friday by a workshop. Ive done maybe 30kms since.

Now when I start my car it sounds like a there is a bolt getting thrown around somewhere near the bellhousing area.

It rattles for a bit then the noise goes away. I took it for a short drive and the ...

The lid on my overflow bottle seems to have a 1 way valve in it. I cant blow air through both ways.

It lets water from the rad to the bottle but not the other way around. Do I really need it if all it does is catch coolant?

It would be nice to remove it so I have more space for an airbox.

Thanks, but it hasnt come through yet. When it does Ill post it here.

Can you send some pics to me and Ill put them up here?

Ive got EL thermos lying around, this would be a good mod.

Ive got an EL radiator and thermofan set here that Im keen to try to fit to mine. They dont look that different in dimensions. I just need to find the time to do it.

If its anything like a GQ then it might be your axle seals that are leaking.

Yep, the TAC doesnt give a stuff as long as your rego is paid. They fix you up and dont care who was at fault.

I got hit by a car in May and knocked off my motorbike.

TAC covered the ambo ride, all medical expenses and no questions were asked about what mods the bike had.

They make it very ...
